Geek Fest: 5 reasons you need to get to one of Holly Smale’s UK tour stops

Holly Smale’s Geek Fest is kicking off in Brighton in just one week’s time. That’s right: this time next week will be the first date of this bestselling author’s UK tour, and YOU need to be there. Check out our top 5 reasons why this is one geek-tastic event you don’t want to miss:

1. Eh, it’s Holly Smale. This lady is not only one of the UK’s biggest YA authors, but her bestselling ‘Geek Girl’ series is sold, read and loved worldwide.

2. You can get your ‘Geek Girl’ collection signed. If you’re a ‘Geek Girl’ fanatic, you know you can’t just leave your books unsigned and untouched by their author. It’s just wrong.

3. ‘Geek Girl’ fans EVERYWHERE. You’ll be in a room full of people who love the exact same thing you do – imagine all the potential BFFs waiting for you and excited chatter you can be part of.

4. One of the stops is the Feminism and YA panel in Birmingham. If you can only make one of Holly’s stops, can we suggest you make every effort to get to this one? Featuring not only Queen Smale, but also YA royalty CJ Daugherty, Holly Bourne and Anna James, this is a night dedicated to all things feminist and YA.

5. EARLY COPIES. Yes, you read that correctly: there will indeed be early copies of ‘Head Over Heels’ at all events. Is there any faster way to a bookworm’s heart than this?
